TokyoRove, the man who gave us the idea that we shouldn't say anything about how crazy the dems are or be critical of Obama because it might offend the moderates........

We can't get rid of him fast enough.

[Cringing Negativism Network]

Enthusiastic bump!

Get rid of Rove, or find an alternative to the GOP.

Now.

[DManA]

just remember that his disastrous decisions during the Bush Administration paved the way for President Obama’s election

Bush's fault.

You're damned right it is!

Tokyo seems to be about hanging on to the gravy train he built for himself.

Rove’s attempts to alter/improve American politics probably began its journey on the right path. But, like many Republicans who began their journey in the right direction, he came to a fork in the road and made the wrong turn. That is one of the dangers in American politics and the same thing could eventually happen to the Patriot movement unless a great deal of “honest” leadership is exercised.

[Grandma Conservative]

The only way to get rid of Rove and the other RINOs is to get involved within the party itself and change things. A third party should be our last resort.

Rove: From Magnificent Bastard to just ...

[Moonman62]

What largely caused that political situation was Karl Rove’s wrongheaded advice to George W. Bush.

I think the Bush royal family has always stood for Big Government. W picked a political adviser who was compatible.

[Lakeshark]

Not much good about it:

The third point Trump made was perhaps the most devastating: “They took $400 million of money that people put up to fight and they made the worst ads I’ve ever seen.” The hundreds of millions in television ads Crossroads ran during the 2012 election had virtually zero impact. Donors trusted Rove to produce ads that were both innovative and effective and they got neither. Weak ads from one state to the next were placed on television and they failed miserably. “$400 million was wasted,” Trump went on to say.

...just remember that his disastrous decisions during the Bush Administration paved the way for President Obama’s election, Obamacare’s implementation, and our unsustainable $16 trillion national debt.

I can't stand Karl Rove, but the reason the economy went to crap right before Bush left office was not the fault of political decisions emanating from the White House.

Republicans in congress simply failed to reign in Fannie and Freddie. We saw it coming, they saw it coming, and perhaps the political power wasn't there to stop what eventually happened, but the executive branch shouldn't get all the blame, IMHO.

[My Favorite Headache]

Rove is totally out of touch with the way politics need to be fought today. He fights the game like it is 1996.

[Uncle Chip]

“You know it was really Karl Rove who gave us Obama.”

And George Bush gave us Karl Rove.

Thanks, George.

[Lakeshark]

the reason the economy went to crap right before Bush left office was not the fault of political decisions emanating from the White House.

The 2006 elections, when the GOP lost the house and senate were the direct result of insulting the GOP base by being silent about democrat criticism (new tone), and the disastrous attempt to shove the amnesty bill down the throat of the American public, and the lack of any attempt to slow down spending.

The unfortunate consequences were there was no way now to reigh in Fannie and Freddie even if they wanted to. I know it's complex, but there was enough failure in the vision of the Bush/Rove white house to assign plenty of blame to them.

“Karl Rove, I just think he’s one of the most overrated people in politics.”

Sometimes the obvious has to be voiced.

[Lakeshark]

Rove is totally out of touch with the way politics need to be fought today.

Perfectly stated. It's a huge problem we need to overcome.

[Seaplaner]

The only way to get rid of Rove and the other RINOs is to get involved within the party itself and change things. A third party should be our last resort.

G.C., you are so absolutely and completely correct!

.

[srmorton]

AMEN! At ALL cost, we must avoid any third party interference in the 2016 election. I do like Rand Paul, but,if he really cares about the country, he will resist the temptation to run as a Tea Party candidate in anything other than the primary.

[OKSooner]

But, but... but... Hannity says he's THE ARCHITECT!!!

(Implicit sarcasm tag.)

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

Heard that show. Levin's been beating the drum all week. He declared war on Rove and the Establishment. Great stuff.

He was outstanding on Hannity's show this week, too. It would be worth searching YouTube for.

Levin's in a class by himself, as far as political commentators go.
